Beneath the surface of the Fiesta RS Turbo lies a wealth of technology and engineering excellence which endows the car with its undeniable performance qualities. The heart of the machine is a muscular fuel-injected 1.6 engine equipped with a Garrett AiResearch turbocharger which extends the power output to 133 PS at 5500RPM.

This eager and free-revving engine delivers its power smoothly and responsively, its crispness benefiting not only from the extra impetus of a turbocharger, but also from the advanced electronics which endow the ignition and combustion systems with such precision.
